Prep Learning Styles

The Education Planner learning style quiz identified myself as a auditory learner in which I do agree. I constantly find myself speaking or reading out loud in my head the words that I type and or write down. I prefer to watch informational clips or videos instead of reading manuals or books that describe the information.

Learning style: My learning style is considered to be auditory and kinesthetic. Yes, I prefer learning through listening and making notes at the same time. Being an auditory learner I depend on hearing and speaking as a main way of learning. I also learn from experiments or activity related to what I study in class.

According to the site educationplanner.org there is three major categories for learning styles, which is auditory, visual and tactile. I had to undergo a 20 question test to see which one of the three is my primary learning style.

Whether you believe learning styles are a myth or fact they still can help you learn the material for class. Just because you take this test online and it says that you are one hundred percent auditory learner doesn’t mean you can’t learn other ways. Learning styles can help you discover more creative ways for you to remember a topic or specific details. How Amy made a poster it helped her present her topic but also helped her learn and remember her topic. By writing it down and being creative you will remember the topic a lot better. I’m not a firm believer in learning styles but I do think that they can help. I am an auditory learner so listening helps me learn although it isn’t the only way I can learn. One of the ken talks we had watched

After taking the learning styles assessment it was found that I am a visual learner most of all followed by tactile and auditory. This meaning that I like to see what I am learning, I am able to understand things and later recall what I have seen. I honestly have to say that I do not agree with these results; I say that because after reading and just knowing how I am, I believe my best type of learning is through tactile, I have been this way since elementary school. When you are a tactile person you like to learn and pick up the information best through touching and doing things, you are very hands-on. Versus someone who is a visual learner just needs to see it or read it. Some of the characteristics a tactile person has is completely me; such as I am always doing something, I like to be hands on, when I talk I move my hands sort of like I am trying to act out what I am saying, I always have my legs going or am swaying side to side, like flashcards to study with, and am always chewing gum.

A learning style is a particular way in which the mind receives and processes information. There are four types of Learning Styles: Visual (Sight), Auditory (Talk), Tactile (Hands-on),, and . I am an auditory learner which means I'm a talker. My weak learning style is

The learning style survey reflected that I am a strong visual learner. The survey was extremely accurate and has a strong correlation as to why certain subjects are easier for me to be successful in than others. For example, math is easier for me to grasp than literature based courses. Mathematics is comprised of complex formulas and diagrams. Explicit modeling must be done by the instructor (solving problems on the board and drawing diagrams) in order to effectively teach math. This is a direct contrast to literature instruction.

When we did the Learning Styles: Modality Preference Inventory worksheet, I scored a 23 in Visual, a 16 in Auditory, and a 23 in Kinesthetic/Tactile. For me, I always had to write things down in order to even come close to remembering it. I also had to actually do what was being done to understand. I always seemed to be both a visual and hands on type of person.

The learning style I identified with is read/write. I basically learn things better by reading and writing things down. As you read and write things down it makes it easier for me to remember things better. If I continuously re-read things, I would remember them for a long time. And if I re-write things I’d be ably to remember it for a long time as well. Because I remember better if I read I always keep a highlighter near by because if I highlight something I know it’ll be important and it will make it easier for studying for test. Not only that, because I use different colored highlighters it makes me remember things more also. Yes, I did know that this was my preferred learning style before completing this assessment because,

This issue is a controversy. The reason learning styles are such a controversial issue because learning styles theories have been criticized by many due to the lack of evidence to support this topic on the idea that people are somehow a particular type of learner (Coffield, Moseley, Hall, & Ecclestone, 2004). Moreover, several psychologists and neuroscientists questioned the scientific basis on which learning theories is established. Also, several educational psychologists believe that there is little to no evidence to support the efficacy of most learning style models because the models often rest on dubious theoretical grounds (Curry, 1990). Even though there is more evidence to support the lack of evidence on this topic that

Learning styles are different for everyone. Your learning style may be auditory, mathematical/logical, tactical, or so on, but everyone has their own learning techniques. Someone could even be a mix between tactical, auditory, and visual.

According to the Learning Style Inventory my learning style is auditory with visual and kinesthetic coming in a tied at second place. I will use this information of my learning styles, to take advantage of the resources that are available online and on campus to be a motivated learner. My strategies are to use audio files as well as read material aloud when necessary, create study sheets with important highlighted information and take notes as I read assignments and other course material. These strategies fall in the auditory, visual and kinesthetic categories that will sure help me focus to stay on track in this new journey that is college. As I read and learn more about my learning styles, I will try to employ each technic that I learn.

Being an Auditory learner, you learn by listening and hearing. These learners understand and remember things they have heard. The information is stored by the way it sounds, spoken instructions are understood better than written ones. Sometimes reading out loud helps you learn because you have to hear it

The result from the test indicates I am very strongly an Active learner. I moderately prefer Sensing and Visual and Sequential and Global learning styles. As an Active learner, I learn better by physically doing or explaining information. Which I agree with I do understand information better if I can explain a procedure or problem to someone else. I believe in takes a thorough understanding of an idea, to be able to explain it to someone else. Finding some way to be involved in a lesson will always help me to understand information better. Most of the time I can understand the concept if a student explains a topic to me. I always like to study in a group. Studying in

Do you know your learning style? Finding out might help you succeed in college. A learning style is a preferred way of taking in new information. The four major learning styles is visual, auditory, reading/writing, and hands-on. Most people use all of these methods, however, one method might work better than others. For example, Lupe discovered in college that she has a dominant visual learning style. New facts or concepts are clearest to her if they are presented in diagrams, in charts, photographs, or videos. Lupe realized that she can deepen her understanding by drawing pictures to depict the information she hears and reads. Nathan on the other hand has a dominant auditory style he needs to hear spoken explanations. He also needs to talk
